"You're fired."
Do your supervisors know how to say these words without incurring a lawsuit? Don't allow your managers to make the same mistakes that led to these wrongful termination cases...

  • In August 2007, a jury in Wyoming awarded a short-term employee $550,000 in damages after finding he was fired in retaliation for filing a workers’ compensation claim.
  • In November 2007, a former Chevron employee was awarded $5.5 million by a San Francisco federal court jury that found the company was liable for retaliation and wrongful termination.
  • And this November a Las Vegas man was awarded $3.7 million by a federal jury after suing West Group of Minnesota for wrongful termination, claiming he was fired because of age discrimination.
  • And the list just keeps growing...

Don't become a statistic. Help your supervisors learn how to fire poor performers without placing your organization in legal danger by registering your leaders for the all-new audio conference, How to Say "You're Fired" Without a Legal Firestorm.

In just 60 minutes, master communicator and nationally recognized attorney John B. Phillips will teach your supervisors:

  • Easy-to-follow steps for conducting a termination in a legally safe and professional manner
  • A clear roadmap to preparing and using a termination checklist -- covering final paycheck, vacation pay, COBRA notification, unemployment comp challenges, job references, and more
  • How to investigate ALL the facts surrounding the decision to fire
  • The right words to use when terminating an employee and words you must NEVER use
  • How the wrong words can trigger a wrongful termination suit
  • Hands-on advice for performing a legal termination, including the exceptions to the employment-at-will
  • How the "golden rule" should be balanced against the at-will rule and the role of the 6 protected classes
  • How misinterpreting at-will exceptions and the 6 protected classes can lead to expensive employment litigation
